Schola Cantorum

1.0 credits

SMU 410 (I,II-1) Schola Cantorum This consort of voices and instruments performs weekly in the liturgical candlelight setting of Compline. We explore known practices in performing music from the Renaissance to the Romantic era, as well as Gregorian Chant, choral improvisation, and new music composed especially for this ensemble. In addition to voices, instruments include sackbuts, cornetti, strings, and organ. The 30-minute public performances take place each Sunday evening at 9:00 p.m. from October through April in the exceptional acoustic of Christ Church. Rehearsals precede the performance on Sunday evenings from 7:30 - 8:45 p.m. Ensemble is comprised of faculty, students, and community professionals. Audition required with instructor Stephen Kennedy.
